This free event brings together job seekers with local businesses and can lead to new job opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head of content for The UK Careers Fair, Joanna Lawson said: \u201cOur events connect job seekers with industry professionals and raise awareness of jobs within the area, keeping talent in the community rather than people seeking employment elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose looking to switch careers or re-enter the workforce after a break for whatever reason, can explore new industries and pathways. Engaging with employers in this type of supportive environment helps job seekers build confidence in their own abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-14-at-08.49.09-min-1-1024x675.png\" alt=\"Careers fair in stoke, many people gathered around career stalls in a circle in a town hall \" class=\"wp-image-63644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-14-at-08.49.09-min-1-980x646.png 980w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-14-at-08.49.09-min-1-480x316.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Careers fair in Stoke, Credit: The UK careers Fair<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday 20 March, between 10am &#8211; 2pm, the event will be hosted at Sheffield Town Hall, offering a vast range of opportunities for potential career paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals of all backgrounds, experience levels, and fields of interest will be encouraged to attend.
